The first thing you should do is a proper 'powercycle' for all of your internet equipment.

To do this:

1) Unplug the power to your modem and your router, and power off your computer.2) Wait a full minute. 3) Plug the power back in to JUST the modem.4) Wait some more - for the modem to fully connect to your ISP, and the lights to indicate. If you're not sure, just wait about 2-3 minutes.5) Plug the power back into the router. 6) Wait another minute or two for the router to finish connecting.7) Then turn the computer back on.

You can bypass the computer turning on and off if you can repair your wireless connection.

If this doesn't work, there is a pinhole sized reset button on the router itself that you will need a toothpick or somesuch to press - press and hold the button for 5 seconds, and then try the steps above again. If you do this, the network id and password will be reset to the default, just like it was when you bought it.

Most Cable Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use Media Access Control (MAC) Address authentication
to establish Internet connection for end-users. MAC address is a
unique identifier assigned to the network adapter/s of the computer.
To set up your Linksys router to work with a Cable ISP, you have to enable the MAC Clone
feature of the router. MAC Cloning is a procedure which enables a
router to copy the MAC address of the computer registered with the ISP.
To set up a Linksys router with Cable connection, you need to perform
four steps using the computer that's been registered with the ISP:
i. Verifying Internet Connection
ii. Connecting the Devices Together
iii. Checking the Router's LEDs
iv. Setting Up a Linksys Router for Cable Internet Connection

Verifying Internet Connection
Connect the computer to the Broadband modem using an Ethernet cable
without the router installed. If you cannot get online, contact your
ISP. If it's online, use the computer to set up the router.NOTE: Some cable modems use the USB port. If the
physical connection is via USB port, you may not be able to go online
via Ethernet connection. Contact your ISP to have the Ethernet port of
the modem configured.

NOTE: The image may vary depending on the computer and modem you're using.Connecting the Devices Together
After confirming the Internet connection through the modem, connect
the modem to the Internet port of the router; connect the computer to
any of the four Ethernet ports at the back of the router. For
instructions, click here.Checking the Router's LEDs
After connecting the devices together, check the lights on the front
panel of the router. Ensure that the Internet light, as well as
numbered light corresponding to the Ethernet port where the computer is
connected, is lit. For further instructions, click here.Setting Up a Linksys Router for Cable Internet Connection

NOTE: If you are using a Mac computer to access the router's web-based setup page, click here.

Step 2:On the Setup tab, click the MAC Address Clone sub-tab.

Step 3:Select Enabled then click Clone My PC's MAC.

Step 4:Click Save Settings.

Step 5:Click the Status tab.

Step 6:Check the Internet IP Address. If the Internet IP Address has
numbers, this means the router has been properly configured. You
should now be able to access the Internet. If you're still unable to
access the Internet, powercycle the modem, the router and then restart
the computer.

NOTE: If the IP address is still 0.0.0.0, click IP Address Release then, click IP Address Renew. If this does not change the IP Address, powercycle the modem, the router and then restart the computer.

The Linksys
router's front panel will indicate the status of the connection. After
connecting the broadband modem to the WAN or Internet port, the computer
to an available numbered port and powering on the router check the
lights on the front panel of the router.

The Linksys router's
front panel will indicate the status of the connection. After connecting
the broadband modem to the WAN or Internet port, the computer to an
available numbered port and powering on the router, the following should
be lit:

1 - 8 (LAN)

DMZ/Internet (WAN2)

Internet (WAN1)

Diag

System

Checking the Router's LEDsStep 1:Make sure the System LED is lit.

NOTE: If the Diag LED doesn't goes off, you need to upgrade the router's firmware. For instructions, click here .

Step 2:Make sure the LAN 1-8 ports is lit depending on the computers connected to the designated Ethernet port.

NOTE: If the LAN 1-8 port is not lit, make sure that the computer is powered on. You can also try connecting the PC using another working cable.

Step 3:Make sure the Internet (WAN1) and DMZ/Internet (WAN2) LED is lit.NOTE: If the Internet or DMZ/Internet LED is not lit make sure the Broadband modem is powered on and that the modem is properly connected to the Ethernet port

You can access the web-based user interface utility of the RV082 by using one of two methods:

Through the RV082 IP address (192.168.1.1 by default), or

Through its default hostname ("RV082")

1. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator)

· By IP address: Type http://192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the RV082)

and click Go or press the [Enter] key.

· By Hostname: Type http://RV082 and click Go or press the [Enter] key.

2. When the username and password prompt appears, type admin in both the username and password fields. (admin is both the default username and default password for the RV082).

1. Make sure your cable modem is connected to the Internet port of the router.
2. Your computer should connected to one of the 4 ports at the back of the router.
3. Check the lights that are lit. Make sure the you have power(steady green), Internet, WLAN and Ethernet port light.
4. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 15 seconds.
5. After 15 seconds, release the reset on the router and turn it off.
6. Turn the cable modem off, too.
7. Wait for a minute. Turn the modem ON first. Wait for the lights on the modem to be ready.
8. Turn on the router. Make sure you have good lights on the router.
9. Check for Internet connectivity.

It sounds as though the ports on the cable/dsl router as bad. There really isn't anything you can do. It just happens. The typical shelf life of those routers is about 3-4 years. You could go out and buy another one or if you just need more ports go out and buy a little 5 port switch and plug it into one of the working ports and your comptuers into the 5 port switch.
